NEWSLETTER OF THE SOUTHAMPTON ROSE SOCIETY—AN AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY AFFILIATE

by Freda SmithARS Horticulture and Arrangement JudgeConsulting Rosarian

T IS NOT AS HARD AS YOU THINK! I will show you step by step basics. There are basically three types of floral design mechanics: floral foam, ataped or wire grid laid over the container opening, or a pin holder, calledKenzan (a pin frog) and chicken wire shaped in a ball.

You can place inexpensive containers inside your prized antiques vases orcrystal bowl lined with aluminum foil. If the outer container is too deep, you can elevatethe arrangements container on a piece of styrofoam or invert smaller bowl inside.

The container sets the mood of the type ofdesign. The small square glass container is sopopular nowadays. The Japanese container,for a Moribana Ikebana arrangement is reallysimple and elegant. It is a low dish that youuse a Kenzan to hold your foliage and roses.

The lush foliage that you are growing in yourgarden is beautiful for filling in. We are sofortunate to be growing roses that we candisplay in our homes or give to friends orhospitals. Your floral design can express yourfeelings or change someone else’s.

I will show you how to make a bow to putinto your potted plants to dress them up.

“So many people tell me they have notalent when it comes to arrangingflowers… I say, NOT SO”

If you want to create an arrangement here at the demonstration. Please bring yourcontainers, roses, and basic floral mechanics. Take them home to admire your owncreation. Be proud of your accomplishment as long as you had fun doing it. YOU ARESUCCESSFUL.…

See you soon all my “Rose Buds.”a

Editor’s note: The 2013 Rose Show will feature a new class for rose arrangements. Freda will be giving a workshop on June 1, 2013 to explain how to compete!

Dear SRS Members,

W ith Sandy behind us and winter just around thecorner, I take a lot of pleasure in sharing photosfrom our 2012 season with you in this issue.

The board continues to meet through the wintermonths and we are busy working on the 2013 Season. I think you’ll find a few surprises when you review ourSchedule of Events for 2013 on page 3. It’s hard to believe, but 2013 is the 10TH Anniversary of

the SRS Rose Garden at the Rogers Memorial Library. It’san accomplishment of great pride for the Rose Society andas such, we have planned a very special event. On June29TH, we will celebrate with an exciting Cocktail Party and

Garden Tour of some of the most beautiful gardens in Southampton.We’re skipping the Annual Breakfast next season but replacing it with a workshop

series. These workshops, called Fundamentals of Rose Gardening, are designed to teachyou new skills, whatever your level of proficiency. From basic planting techniques tohard-core Organic strategies. The workshops will also feature a hands-on PhotographySession led by a professional garden photographer (www.matthewbenson.com), aworkshop on Competitive Rose Arranging and a session with one of our mostsuccessful exhibitors who will reveal her secrets for Choosing Award Winning Roses.The season will also include a Cocktail Party on June 14TH to inaugurate the SRS’s

new Organic Rose Garden installed this fall in front of the Southampton CulturalCenter and Veteran’s Hall. You will see photos of the installation on page 7 but don’tmiss our celebration party if you want to see it in it full bloom.Don’t forget to place your orders for bare-root roses before the end of the year.

You’ll find a number of great resources at our website and I encourage you to supportour new sponsors Kordes Roses and Roses Unlimted. They have been very generous tothe SRS this season and we should thank them by showing our support.a
